Default New NPP

Just installed the NPP on my '05/A4. Have to say i wasn't expecting it to be so "impressive" as for as sound level. Has a nice/deeper tone than the Corsa sports. And it really cackles @ WOT. I can't sneek around anymore.
Ed, i need my NPP in a box.. What a great invention. Can't wait to get it on there.

Would someone please explain what's involved in this exhaust mod. I understand the obvious w/ pipes & mufflers, but this does involve a switching/actuating system, what's involved. This is the system that would allow for quiet cruising or wide open on the fly, right? While I'm asking, anyone have ballpark on parts cost.

I would also like to know where to buy NPP exhaust. How much?
How would the sound compare with the Corsa Extreme? 2005 A4

Just installed the NPP in a Box last nite. What a cool mod. (Thanks Ed ) just for comparison - closed/mild is a little louder than stock and a little deeper in sound. Open/wild is, well WILD... Deeper than Corsa's, and did i mention WILD? You also get to choose what mode it starts in, open or closed. 10min. install for the NPP in a box, very sweet.
Hey Spin, you are so right about how mean it sounds open with the cam @ idle, and @ WOT... have your tissues ready to keep it off the seats...
